Here's a photo of the current President being levitated by Scott Wells when both were based in Midland, Texas:
http://www.scottwells.com/bush.jpgI once did a performance attended by his father and looked forward to chatting him up about our mutual interest in magic, having read the reports of his visits to Al's Shop. It was immediately clear he was clueless about magic, so I switched topics. Rather disappointing.

Jacques Le Sueur , professional corporate magician from Cape Town, South Africa, holds the distinction of picpocketing the worlds FAVOURITE AND MOST FAMOUS POLITICIAN, Nelson Mandela, during a performance. ( when he stole his watch) Join me in wishing Madiba a magical 90th birthday!

That is, apart from the thread mentioning a prominent politician, GB, being levitated by Scott Wells.
As an analogy, I mentioned a former prominent politician, NM being picpocketed by Jacques Le Seuer....and wished him a happy birthday to boot.
